HDMI

The song 'HDMI' by BONES is a braggadocious and assertive track that delves into themes of success, exclusivity, and the artist's lifestyle. The lyrics paint a picture of BONES' high life, filled with substance use and a nonchalant attitude towards fame and the music industry. The repeated line 'Smoking like a mother fucker, higher than a mother fucker' sets the tone for the song, emphasizing the artist's indulgence in marijuana and a carefree state of mind.

BONES makes a clear statement about his priorities in the music business with lines like 'Never see me on the stage unless the money is arranged,' showing that he values his work and expects to be paid accordingly. The references to '1080,' '240,' and '4k' are nods to high-definition video resolutions, metaphorically comparing the quality of his lifestyle and work to high-resolution imagery. This clever wordplay reinforces the idea that BONES sees himself at the top of his game, both in terms of his artistry and the clarity with which he views his career path.

The song also touches on the theme of authenticity and the superficial nature of the music industry. BONES expresses disdain for those who seek him out for clout, as indicated by 'But the only reason they want to meet me, is just to say they fucking met me.' This line suggests a critique of the industry's tendency to value connections over genuine talent or artistry. The repeated lines about handling situations if someone tries to 'fuck around' imply that BONES and his crew are ready to defend their status and deal with any challenges that come their way.
